English translation of the principle

The insurer's right of recourse against the insured for the amount of compensation it has paid in the cases specified in Article 76 of the Executive Regulations of the Traffic Law is a rule of law, even if the policy contains no such provision. The judgment's contravention of that vitiates it. An example.
